The pool's water can become stained and strained from the buildup of debris. It is important to maintain sparkling water. Professional pool cleaning services are available but they can cost hundreds of dollars per year. Do-it-yourself cleaning is quite simple. Follow the steps below to save money and have clean, safe water.

Regular maintenance should be scheduled once per month. First, clean the filter. Next, use a pool rake or a brush to get rid of any particles in the water. Brushing is the third step. Use a brush to scrub the walls from the top to the bottom.

Give the debris at least 30 minutes to settle before vacuuming. It is essential that the hose is in the water before you turn on the vacuum. Vacuum damage can occur if the hose is not in the water before the machine turns on.

If you notice a bad odor or skin irritation, it is likely that your water doesn't have enough chlorine. You should learn how to properly measure chlorine before you dump it into the water.

You should remind swimmers to use the bathroom and not go in the water. To prevent fecal matter and contaminating the water, the little swimmers should wear watertight pants. You should run the filter at least 12 hours each day.

Every week, you should check the chemical levels in your water. You may need to adjust the pH of your water. Skin irritation and green water are two signs that your water pH is low. The pH level should range from 7.4 to 7.6. There are many pH testing kits.

The skimmer can become jammed if there are leaves in the water. The pressure must be changed and the system should be strained. You should rake the water once a week, and empty the skimmer each day. Avoid placing the water too close or on top of trees. Remember that fertilizer contains a lot of iron, which can cause rust. To prevent any fertilizer from getting into the water, water the grass once you have fertilized it.

You can't have it outside without taking care of it. It will be taken care of by employees sent by the service. You can simply hire the service and swim in it.
